Rifle Scopes New scope for my Sako TRG 22 6.5

[michiman]

looking for a scope to put on my new rifle. Looking to spend about $2500. I was thinking about a nightforce atacr or a vortex razor HD gen ii. I've heard a few good things about IOR valdada and from what I understand they come with rings. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

the rifle will be used mostly for target shooting and hunting occasionally. I would like to shoot to 1000+ yards.

The world is your oyster. Razor Gen 2, Razor AMG, Kahles K624i, Minox ZP5 5-25x, S&B PM2 5-25x, ATACR 5-25x F1 etc. are all available in or around that price range. Think I saw some used Hensoldt mildot scopes in the PX too.

I though Valdada for about 15 minutes the ended up going S&B but that is $800 above you budget. I have 2 Kahles and like them very much and for the money you cant beat them.

Watch the PX here... tier one optics are coming up all the time at prices that let you buy nice scopes for well within your budget.

Don't leave out USO... says a USO snob!

Enjoy the TRG. I love mine.

Cheers,

Pick a reticle that you like. About anything in that price range will do well.

Went vortex on last one, has open cross hairs on ret, just a little different, kind of like it at distance, and you can shoot the staples off your target at 100

Thanks for the responses, I am starting to lean towards the vortex. Initially I was thinking the price difference in the nightforce atacr F1 may be worth it but i have yet to hear anything negative about the vortex.

Don't do IOR, whatever you do!!!!!

I like my gen 2 Vortex HD Razor. Zero complaints.

In that price range I'd be looking at a GenII Razor or used Nightforce F1. Hard to make a bad decision with that budget though. Most in that price range are all top performers and will serve you well.

I found a pretty good deal on a Vortex at 2299, and a nightforce atacr 7-35 at 2999. Hmmm... is the extra mag worth it? Do any of you have experience with the new higher mag NF

 

[michiman]

The reticles are different however. Both are mil reticles but the vortex is Christmas tree reticle. While the nightforce is just their MIL-R reticle. I don't really have a preference since I've never had any experience with either.

I love my 7-35. I think it's definitely worth it at sub $3k if you get one at that price. I bought my Razor 2 from the px here for well under $2300 and with the vortex warranty I'd look at a used one and save some good money if that's the scope you decide on. I'd still go NF 7-35 though.

I would wait until NF puts Mil-C in all of their scopes. MIL-R isn't a bad reticle, it's just out of date.

Unfortunately waiting isn't an option lol. The rifle comes in Friday

The F1 ATACR 7-35X gets my vote as well. I have 6 NF scopes never had to send anyone back for repairs.

I ended up ordering the vortex, the nightforce was a bit over my budget. And based on what I've read and heard the vortex is just as good! I ordered badger ordinance rings as well. Any recommendations on a different brand?

 

[wareagle700]

Badger Ordnance is as good as you will find. Good choice on the Razor.

You should very happy with you choices on scope and rings. My friend has the TRG22 in .308 shoots lights out. I would expect you get 1/3 moa or better when you get a load developed or just shoot Hornady ELD-M.
